Review: Benefit They're Real Mascara

I'll be honest and say that I'm not a big fan of mascara. I have really short curly lashes and so far the mascaras I've tried really haven't lived up to their claims! I received this mascara in my goodie bag from the Birmingham blogger meetup. Although I had my reservations about the product, I decided to give it a try anyway.

MUA Undressed Palette Review

It may have taken a while, but I finally picked up the MUA Undressed eyeshadow palette (dupe to the Urban Decay Naked Palette). I've been trying it out the last few weeks and thought I would share my thoughts with you.

MUA Undressed Palette

For just a 1/9th of the price of the Urban Decay Naked Palette, I would say MUA's offering serves as a great alternative for those on a budget or not willing to pay £36 for an neutral eyeshadow palette. The shadows are quiet pigmented and relatively easy to work with. The only draw back I've found is that the colours aren't as vibrant and don't last as long unless an eyeshadow base or primer is used (pictures below).

The Review: Sigma Eyes Kit Brushes

I’ve been trying to build up my makeup brush collection, and decided to pick up the Sigma Eyes Kit brush set late last year from love-makeup.co.uk. I’d heard a lot about the brushes beforehand and was interested to see if they lived up to their hype. The brush set comes with 7 brushes. I also received a complimentary brush (the E25 blending brush) and an eyeshadow palette. Below I have shared my thoughts on the brushes and how I like to use them.

EbonyB's Real Hair: Initial Review

I decided to pick up some Brazilian hair from a company called EbonyB's Real Hair. I picked up three bundles, one 12 inch and two 14 inch of the Wavy Virgin Brazilian Hair in the colour natural. I quiet like the hair so far, it's really soft. There's a bit of a smell to it, but after washing it with the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner the smell seems to have reduced.

I'm thinking of dyeing the hair but we will see what happens. If you know any good hair dyes feel free to comment below.

Review: Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution

Firstly, I want to apologise for not posting the last few weeks, I’m back at uni and I’ve been trying to settle back into uni life.

Anyways, today I thought I would share with you my thoughts on a hyped beauty products and a current favourite of mine, Bioderma. I'd heard a lot of hype surrounding this product on youtube, so decided to pick up a bottle (well 3, as there was a 3 for 2 offer on) whilst in Paris over the summer (click here to see my Paris Vlogs: Vlog 1 Vlog 2). This product can be bought online from places such as Amazon and Ebay, so no need to fear!

Bioderma is a French skincare pharmacy brand, they offer a range of different products for all skin types. I particularly like the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution (pictured above) as it's gentle enough for people with sensitive skin, whilst also acting as an effective make up remover (taking off even tough mascara) and a daily cleanser.

I personally use Bioderma as a cleanser in the mornings and a make-up remover in the evenings. I love how it really removes any make up I have on, whilst also leaving my skin feeling refreshed and revitalized. I've been encouraging friends and family to try out this products and would defiantly recommend it to anyone who's on the hunt for a cleanser, make-up remover or just likes trying new products.

Have you tried Bioderma? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
